Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 655: Settling accounts after the fall and pursuing the vassal reform in Liaodong
After giving so many restrictions, everyone naturally knows who they are talking about.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Chen Mingde, Marquis of Xinghan, the fourth grandson of Chen Youliang, was born and raised in Korea, and he still cares about his motherland.

What Chen and Han's army was best at was water warfare. More importantly, after Chen Youliang's defeat, Taizu exiled Chen Youliang's old troops to Fuchun River, Qiantang River and other places. They were only allowed to live in boats without any land or house.

This brings two major benefits. One is that these people are easy to win over, and the other is that they can be used as navy masters. "

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "My husband is really big-hearted. It's almost 100 years ago. Aren't you afraid that these people have already lost all the water fighting skills of our ancestors?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "You underestimate the world's heroes too much. How can you throw away the skills that others can use to compete in the world?

If you look at our family, you will know that I only have a little ability to govern the country, but I eagerly and eagerly want to instill the secret method into my son.

Then there are people like Li Xuan of Li Wenzhong's family and Tang Jie of Tang He's family. They all fought in a precise manner, and their families also had secret military books and ancestral tactics.

Inheritance is not something that can be broken so easily. "

Qianxue smiled and said: "Let me try to understand your husband's imperial intentions: First of all, you brought Chen Mingde back from North Korea before the war started. At that time, others could not see your long-term plans and only thought that you were It is to demonstrate the benevolence and forgiveness of the Mingjun Holy Lord.

Then Chen Mingde was asked to recruit old troops, form a navy, and serve the court.

Shandong Preparatory Japanese Army, after all, it is the family property of Inmiao and Xuanmiao. If you want to inherit it, you must inherit it through orthodoxy. It has nothing to do with you, an outsider.

However, if Shandong's army is too strong, it will easily escape control, so if you send the new army formed by Chen Mingde, you can firstly show the magnanimity of the Holy King, secondly, you can use the water warfare skills of Chen Han's old troops, and thirdly, you can suppress Shandong local army.

Kill three birds with one stone and kill three birds with one stone. Before others notice, you have already completed the layout.

From this point of view, we have to give you a nickname, let's call it layout master. "

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "What a master, every master is a liar. I'm just a framer. Hey, forget it, it's a bit cold, go to sleep."

The next day, it was still rainy.

In the Wenhua Hall, the cabinet ministers and the ministers and doctors of the official department were sitting neatly.

This was the first time that the Jingtai Dynasty recommended a bachelor to the cabinet.In the past, the emperor made decisions with just one word. Now that the emperor's prestige is getting higher and higher, there are signs of delegating power.

Wang Wen's "illness" has been cured, and he and He Wenyuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, presided over the court.

Everyone gathered together and screened all the ministers who could be on the stage.

Yao Kui, Zhou Xuan and Geng Jiuchou from Beijing;
Sun Yuanzhen, Yu Shan and Yu Gang from Nanjing;
Local Wang Lai, Ma Ang, Nian Fu, Zhen Wan, Xuan Shi, Xue Xilian and Yang Xinmin;

All entered the reserve list.

With thirteen preliminary candidates, the next step is to further select and promote two of these people to the cabinet.

This matter could not be delayed. The emperor designated a new cabinet minister to preside over the general examination and the palace examination. Therefore, if a new cabinet minister could not be selected in one day, the general examination could not be held.

Some cabinet ministers who entered the cabinet late and had junior qualifications, such as Wang Yining, wanted to curry favor with the emperor, so they advocated letting one of Yu Shan and Yu Gang, two former ministers of Xidi, enter the cabinet.

Zhou Chen advocated letting Geng Jiuchou and Xuanxian, two world-famous honest and capable ministers, join the cabinet.

Wang Wen strongly recommended Yao Kui and Zhou Xuan, the two ministers of the Ministry of Punishment.

The Wenhua Palace was bustling with excitement for a long time, and the ministers of the DPRK were arguing endlessly for a long time.

The quarrel lasted until the afternoon, but to no avail, so we had to break up for the time being.Wang Wen returned to the Ministry of Punishment and was just in time to catch up with Lu Gao, the commander of Jin Yiwei.

The two of them greeted each other, and Lu Gao smiled and said: "Mr. Wang Ge, the emperor ordered us to send the evidence of Li Chun's crime, and the case can be closed today."

Wang Wen was shocked when he heard this: "The case will be closed today? Li Chun hasn't been tried yet. Although it was Li Chun who sued me for falsely accusing him, I have to recuse myself from interrogating him according to the law and cannot interfere with the progress of the trial.

But when you think about it, you know that it is impossible to get the results in such a short time. "

Lu Gao replied: "Jin Yiwei has already investigated Li Chun and has obtained conclusive evidence, which is enough to convict him of beheading."

"Smoking gun evidence?"

Lu Gao nodded affirmatively.

When Wang Wen saw this, he was also a little panicked.The emperor seemed to have never paid much attention to Jin Yiwei, but Jin Yiwei still secretly investigated Li Chun and obtained conclusive evidence of his crime.

You must know that there were no such disputes at that time, Li Chun was still a good governor of Liaodong, and Jin Yiwei launched an investigation.

Then does Jin Yiwei also investigate other ministers?Just thinking about it sends shivers down your spine.

Lu Gao also reacted and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang Ge, Jin Yiwei did not investigate randomly.

The general will tell you secretly that it was what the Holy Emperor ordered the Jinyi Guards to do when he investigated the military affairs of Liaodong, the governor-general of Wang Ao. Li Chun was investigated incidentally because he was once a subordinate of Wang Ao.

The Jinyiwei were abolished by the Holy Emperor, leaving only a few soldiers and generals, and they really didn't have the time to bite randomly. "

Wang Wen was amused by the word "climbing and biting" in Lu Gao's mouth. How could he talk about himself like that?

Lu Gao sent the evidence to Yao Kui and Zhou Xuan. Sure enough, in the face of conclusive evidence, Li Chun confessed on the same day.

Early the next morning, Zhu Qiyu received the report from the Ministry of Punishment, and immediately ordered the cabinet to draft an edict and summon Wang Ao, the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, to Beijing.

This is called settling accounts after the fall. When the Wala invaded in a large scale, Wang Ao passively avoided the war in Liaodong, and Zhu Qiyu has always been worried about this.

If Wang Ao is already known as a mediocre person, then forget it.The key is that this man also has a good reputation, a wise minister, and a capable person. Even the commanders of the Jianzhou Guard wrote memorials requesting that Wang Ao be transferred back to Liaodong.

There is nothing more annoying than a minister who is just trying to gain fame but does not live up to his reputation.

After dealing with Wang Ao, Qianxue handed over another memorial: "Husband, please take a look, the princes of Zhou Dynasty are about to start a fight."

"What did they hit?"

"Liaodong is sparsely populated, remote and desolate. The princes and counties all want to move to North Korea, but you only gave ten places. There are too many monks and not enough meat."

"Why are they so short-sighted? When I am free, I will move the Han people to Liaodong on a large scale.

Liaodong has fertile land, vast mountains and forests, and rich products. There are countless mountain products and rare treasures. In less than ten or twenty years, it will become a good place for everyone to compete for. "

Qianxue smiled and said: "Husband, you are thinking too far. Those feudal lords don't care about your mess. They can actually get it in their hands as long as they are in front of them."

Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "We won't give them the places near the sea in North Korea, and we won't give them the rich places. Then tell them that when they enter the dynasty, each family will be given [-] hectares of land to manage themselves, and the annual salary will be exempted, so they can win on their own. deficit."
